During the year the course OF study in
this school has been enlarged 50 a to in
clude higher English course. This change
seemed necessary 10 meet the requirements
Of class Of pupils who desire to pursue
their studies beyond the grammar schools,
but who do not elect to take up the study
of the languages. \ large number of stu
dents entered this course at the beginning
of the fall term. To accommodate the in
creased number of pupils in this school
the large room on the second floor of the
building was fitted for class room during
the summer vacation. The introduction
of the English course made it necessary to
employ u second assistant, and Miss Mary
Mcfarland of this city was elected to that
position. She has shown herself to be
faithful and successful teacher in her de-
partment.
At the close of the previous year Miss
Alice NJ. kimball resigned her position as
assistant, and Miss Rose A. Hilton was
employed to I'LL the vacancy. Miss Hilton
is teacher of tact and experience, and we
highly commend her work thus far. This
school is still under the care of Mr.. W. X.
White. as principal, whose eminent
ability for that position is Enthusiastically
shown by the condition to which he has
brought his school.
The class which graduated June goth,
1886, numbered seven, two boys and five
girls The number admitted at the begin
ming of the fall term was thirty. The
present number in the school is eighty
The increasing expenses of this school re
quire that your Honorable Board should
make larger appropriations We respect
fully recommend that the sum of fifteen
hundred dollars, at least, be Apr Dpriated
for the coming year.

The Union Salvation Band have been hold
ing meetings in this city for few evenings
past, with fair success. On Sunday evening
an audience Of three or four hundred was in
attendance. and the services were conduct
ed by three men. all having full
military titles. The meeting was under
the charge OF Major Doughty who was assisted
by Staff Capt. Hartien and Capt. Freethy. The
services were spirited. and. on the whole, not
uninteresting Lively tunes were sung. which
were, in some instances, accompanied by the
tambourine. One feature of the meeting we
decidedly liked. The conductors were earnest
and did not seem to be above tting down to
the real wants of the world. The speaking
consisted mostly Of eXhortations aud explana-
tions. We were told that the members of
the Union Salvation Bands are made up most
" Of those who have left the Salvation Army
on account OF differences of opinion on three
points. viz: Church attendance, baptism and
the partaking Of the sacrament. We hear that
the Salvation Band have engaged quarters on
Franklin street in this city, for one year. and
that meetings will be held under the charge Of
the female Captain, Mrs. johnson, who is de-
ignated as Salvation Lasse," and who will be
assisted b. another salvation lassie' who is
expected soon to arrive. Hereafter the meet
ings will be held at their quarters on Franklin
street, which will be free to all. We hear that
Staff Captain Hartlen will leave here on Thurs
day of this week for Oldtown, and that he will
be accompanied by two young men from this
city. The triumvirate will hold series of
meetings in Oldtown. Major Doughty is soon
TO go to Boston, where he will provide for the
holding of meetings in that city.
